But.. craigslist is also very temporal. Only the recent stuff is noticed. Its harder to find things that aren't the most recent.

days was weblogs.com, which was acquired recently by Verisign. All it
is really is a ping server. Bloggers would ping it when they posted
something new, and it contains a list of the recent posts. When there
were only a handful of Bloggers, you could basically keep up with it
by keeping up with weblogs.com.
I think Aggregators help too... people subscribe to the blogs they
find interesting, and then find more simply through word of mouth,
reputation filters, and search engines.
There is no one-stop-shop for blogs, though there are popularity
indexes... stuff like Blogdex, Daypop, Technorati.
I think directories are helpful, but there may be better ways to find
something when the data set gets large other than by browsing
hierarchical categories in a traditional directory. The directories
we're seeing these days are something different as they are organized
more with tags and other social elements as opposed to hierarchical
categories.
